Guitar Lesson V: Beginners Shred

[TheMikeSenn]

Old man shredding go to sennstrato

[7re33]

awesome licks, do you know what key they are in?



[BadFinger1997]

As soon as he said the first riff was used by yngwie malmsteen I knew I was screwed.

[stonecoldthom316]

The moment Is aw the slipknot poster in the back, I imediatly liked this guy! :D

[wesmatron]

Each key has a diminished...C Major scale chords: Cmaj Dmin Emin Fmaj Gmaj Amin Bdiminished

So chords for each key go: Major, Minor, Minor, Major, Major, Diminished

[lordfrylok3]

what kind of picks do you use to shred?



[metalgear20]

its OK man.. we all making mistake cuz were just a human being...LOL just saying. btw thanks for the lesson.

[SenselessTalk]

THANKS! :D

[guitarsouldude]

hey everyone, this is chipwichesrool, for whatever reason youtube wont let me on this account anymore so you can see my newest lessons on GuitarSoulDude

[MeTaLKiD0471]

nice posters btw i like the calender wit da chick lol

[genirocs]

is this in dropped d?

[brainfullametal]

@genirocs Tune your guitar to dropped D, then from the bottom string ( thats the one at the top, go figure) re-tune your guitar as you normally would. Now you have a D tuned guitar like this bloke is playing. If you normally play in dropped D, you can do the same but you will be in dropped C. If you like this sound, I suggest you buy heavier gauge strings, you will get less fret buzz. I use 10-52's personally. Hope this helps bud.

[jawamboldt]

@genirocs No, it's D standard.

[mlbdrumsyahoo]

AWESOME!

[Randersif]

lol 5:48 fact!

[Channel450]

love it

[Stickflazh22]

[mechaghostman2]

@Stickflazh22

Yes.

[TheWTStv]

@Stickflazh22 lol you can shred with anyhting if you know what you're doing

[VikingFatty]

@Stickflazh22 ofc you can

[tahbuu]

[lmao458]

DUDE THANKS YOU SO MUCH!THIS ACTUALLY HELPED UNLIKE THE OTHER VIDS I'VE SEEn(hehe sorry for the caps but seriously this rlly healped me!^_^)

[iffrett]

how hard are yo pressing down on the frets? i seem to have difficulty holding how the frets so easily

[yoshie257]

@iffrett lower your strings and if that dosent help, you can do what i always did, PLAYTILLITHURTS, goodluck

[WhiteAsianMan]

e 12/20-19-20-17-20-15-20-14-20

b ------------------------------­------------18

Since the 14'th fret of the high e string is the same as the 19th fret of the b string?

[IAmDeathknight]

Cheers! this vid is awesome, i cant keep up with herman li and yngwie for some reason (hehe)

[EvansDrumsRock]

huhuhu slipknot sux big hairy flabby swollen wet green testicals

[XxBFMV24xX]

@EvansDrumsRock yes they do

[mtniragongo]

for the guy with the guitar and amp question.. i own a line 6 spider four series, first of all not prove the guy in this videos wrong bc he did help me thats for dam sure lol, but i own the thirty watt and it is amazing.. if u like metal get a line 6 spider, there are some effects, not super great in that asspect but still good enough. and if u get this amp, bc its all digital, it doesnt matter what kind of guitar u use. if u have active pick-ups, dont activate them with this amp, bc

[EmoJunkerz21]

This was a great shred video for beginners such as myself. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Please make more becuase I will need it! Thanks for the help =D

[EmoJunkerz21]

I think this is a great video for Beginners such as myself and thanks for all of your help!! Keep making more videos cuz I'm gonna need it!! Two thumbs up... =D

[mynameisjonas321]

Yes, finally. Someone preserving real music. Nice, man.

[JAMESLeadGuitarist]

Different tuning indeed.

[mulldiddy13]

dude great vid ive been messin around for bout 3 yrs and i know no scales how important are they. i can play basic riffs thats it like rock you like a hurricane paranoid iron man and the intro to crazy train i also can play most of enter sandman i want to be really fast any tips for me ill gladly take em cool guitar by the way looks like gus g's

[Packersfan891]

you shouldve mentioned your guitar is tuned a whole step down

[chestus12]

Dude, thanks alot for taking the time to make this, it's great for intermediate guys like me who abuse minor pentatonics but want to go further. Just a side note, you should use your your right pinky or ring finger as an anchor on the pick guard area. It really improves speed and accuracy like you won't believe. I don't know if you do it or not, but I ddin't see it in this video and its really helpful for shredding. Thanks again

[chipwichesrool]

@chestus12 its mentioned in some of my other videos, thanks though!

[XxBFMV24xX]

@chipwichesrool how ling did it take you to learn to shred

[Devil485daniel]

thx so much im new to shredding but you helped alot

[circutwolf]

also what would be a good guitar with some sweet pickups? and thank you for your help.

[circutwolf]

i play anything, i like rock solo's just not chorus unless it sounds good, i like some metal riffs as long as the metal has no words lol. and i also love to play Renaissance guitar hope i spelled that right. but the true problem lies in the fact that i bought an 80 dollar pawn shop excel guitar that has a short in it, and my amp is a basic crate amp...actual brand name...its over drive sounds horrible...one of my fav guitarist is Andy McKee.

[circutwolf]

your fuxing awesome omg! thanks...i need a new guitar and amp any suggestions chip?

[chipwichesrool]

@circutwolf what kinda music r u playing? for amps im kinda curious about the line 6 spider jam, i tested it and it sounds amazing but its a little pricey. if ur going for line 6 dont get anything below 50 watts! vox makes great amps and marshall amps are good above 15 watts

[comedybenj]

@circutwolf im getting as a beginer a bc rich beast nt oynx and a roland cube 30x

[monkeyboy6676]

The diminished chord is either the the 5th degree of a major key, or the second degree of a minor key, first learn the chord order for major keys, then if you start at the 6th degree of the major and go 6-7-1-2-3-4-5, its the minor chord pattern, voila!

[RAWRitsLarissa]

thanks, what kind of guitar do you have? and is that standard tuning?

[chipwichesrool]

Dean MLX, i believe its down a full step. it was an amazing guitar but i upgraded to my current Ibanez RG5EX1

[llanelliboi69]

thanks man great help =]

[lubedude2]

Great lesson dude! thanx!

[CrowdeDisaster]

you actually bent the 20th fret up 3 notes at first lol. i always make that mistake when bending lol

[itwasacrow1985]

:) thanks Chip (:

[chipwichesrool]

snot a problem

[badboy20071994]

tnx dude this will help me train my speed on the full guitar neck! lesson rocks! \m/

[ibanez92ish]

thank you! nice lesson :)

[Killahxxx]

thanks for the lesson, pretty nice :)

[blkndkrspy]

r u in D standard? lol cuz i was playin this on my 7 string razorback (i wasnt hittin the low B, of course, and it sounded a whole step higher than your guitar. but maybe its because im sick and my ears are fucked up lol

[chipwichesrool]

yes i am, sorry if i didnt mention it in the video iv tried to mention in others i must have forgotten

[greatestali3]

wow wtf is up with the negativity?

thanks man i found the vid to be helpfull

[chipwichesrool]

np glad it helped!

[2Luke]

thanks for the lesson!

[chipwichesrool]

no problem!

[DARKREGIS]

Wow you 2 are immature XD

[chipwichesrool]

agreed

[deathwalkssilent]

Hey if you want to build up more strength go play with some more cocks ;)

like your mom does with mine

[deathwalkssilent]

Hey I think my penis makes better sounds inside your mom

P.S. your mom makes better sounds

P.S.S. Im banging her right now

[king0fshadows]

i just started cutting at these guitar strings with a pocket knife and it sounded pretty similar to your playing

[hAyWiReDKrAzY]

Hey nice E Phrygian scale, its fuckin wrong douchebag, and it's not even in the key of E dumbass, its the key of C fuckin moron.

And im banging your mom again ;)

[sunnyjim98]

hey, just as a matter of interest, how long have you been playing guitar. cos ive been playing since christmas, and id like to know as a rough guide to how long i should be playing till i can do stuff like that, cos thats pretty damn impressive, and its one of the few videos showing how to play guitar thats actually helped. thanks!

[chipwichesrool]

iv been playing for about 2 years now, but dont base your experience off of anyone else. Never strive to be as good as someone. You should plan to be the best while maintaining a reasonable pace

[S1ashedWr1zts]

Good video!

[chipwichesrool]

thx man check out the rest if u liked it

[DARKREGIS]

This will help me alot :) Lol I've only been play for a couple weeks haha

[chipwichesrool]

my mind would be blown after watching this lesson in my first few weeks haha if you can learn anything from this more power too you, youre gonna do amazingly down the way good luck!

[DARKREGIS]

Ya thanks : ) Well I tend to worry less about the how big the task is and more on how I can do that. I likely will not be able to get any of this right for weeks but I shall try :P

[DARKREGIS]

nevermind months are more likely at this rate...haha

[chipwichesrool]

just keep working at it!

[hAyWiReDKrAzY]

you shouldnt be making lessons, you should b taking them

[chipwichesrool]

hey man im not the best but theres a ton of positive comments and then your negative one so...

[DARKREGIS]

don't be a dick the guys doing just fine!

[ernieball3645]

i usaully use bridge pickup better shred sound

[chipwichesrool]

i agree with you but for practice purposes if you use the neck pickup it allows slightly less sound to escape in terms of buzz, and therefore when you mess up it is slightly less noticeable. It is a much more controlled pickup

[ernieball3645]

cool thanks

[daredevil452]

slipnot and acdc hey

[chipwichesrool]

of course

[rochamaestro]

thanks to you young master.

[chipwichesrool]

haha thats a new won, thanks!

[GuiTaRn3rd55]

Awesome lesson. Helped me out a lot. The first one you did was cool! Nice playing too. 5/5* Keep it up!

[chipwichesrool]

thanks man, very much appreciated, keep playin!

[99deathwish99]

your guitar seems out of tune but thanx

[chipwichesrool]

could be, too late to worry about it now though, also the quality of the video could be to blame

[tkhrmiz2010]

mm intersting i like it. also i like the bc rich behind you

[lovepuremetal5]

i liked sweep pattern alot man thanx. iam getting there(blazing fast shred zone) too

[chipwichesrool]

when i get around to it i'll put a lesson up with more arpeggios, patterns, and touch on tapping while sweeping

[sux0rz]

mind you phyrigian dominant in E can also be A Harmonic Minor. Same thing. Thats why i love guitar :P so many patterns that are different and the same

[chipwichesrool]

very true, thank you

[SkankingKyle]

rap music is a lot better than this honestly. lil wayne is just more fun to listen to :)

[chipwichesrool]

...youre fucking retarted. go lay down and rethink your life.

[sux0rz]

agreed. if that guy is looking for fun... he should stick to pop. Metal is power!

[chipwichesrool]

and power is metal

[0mnis14sh]

Thanks for the vid, I'll be practicing some of this. You should mention though that your tuning is in drop D

[chipwichesrool]

shit knew i forgot something. thx

[miggsy10]

hey.... ur video is cool... keep rocking... XD

[Muumihullu]

Nice! But stop saying: Amm.......

[chipwichesrool]

what can i say im not much of a video guy

[DomeShot101]

colgate.... just kiddin ;)

[LivingSacrifice420]

Its hard to see your fingers but do you hold down the lower frets and play the higher ones in sequence or release after each note is played. Like when I practice runs such as 1-2-3-4 do you hold down all the lower frets or release and use each finger individually?

[chipwichesrool]

everything depends on what youre playing. Im not sure exactly where this question applies to in the video, but its all about comfort really. holding down lower notes wont effect the sound or tone, and it often makes faster runs easier, so go for it- but if you practice normally by NOT holding the other notes down, stick with that. Im not sure if that answers your question, so tell me if theres more that needs to be said k?

[theking13371]

ty so much man and ur vids

[metalzeppelin5]

thanks man

im pretty new to guitar (4 months)

ive wanted learn shred for a while

this helped a lot

[LostToTheSystem]

Hey as a beginner to shredding, this is going to help me a lot. Especially seeing as i'm not too hot on reading all the strange symbols used in tab and stuff. I don't know much theory at all, but i do have a book on guitar scales, so i guess i should look up on that.. Thanks for the video - it's great! :)

[chipwichesrool]

thanks for the feedback, scales are always a good thing and while i may seem like a hypocrite, you should always learn theory if youre going to be a successful musician and definitely for shred/neoclassical guitarists. All it can do is help right?

[Ikirouta]

cool, ill try these tomorrow, they sound fun

[jjgooberboot]

YOU SUCK!

[HaloMetalHead]

neck pickup just covers up mistakes lol but it can help yes. but no matter what if you play it tight and clean it will sound good on either pickup.

[chipwichesrool]

yes, but seeing as its just a lesson and all and only for practice use i figured i might as well just put it in like that

[mbyard87]

ya know, ive been looking for a good shred lesson video on yt for a couple months now. and then i saw urs, which was really helpful. it was nice to see someone using terms and naming scales instead of just giving the tabs. how am i supposed to look more into things without knowing what theyre called. great playing by the way, and keep posting vids!!!

[chipwichesrool]

thanks, very VERY much appreciated, hope it helped!

[bladeshredder]

Hey man, your not a bad guitar player but I did just want to say... It's awesome to learn theory and I would encourage you to do so but... If you don't know theory dont talk about it like you do lol. Not because its wrong but only because other people will take it as accurate and than they have a false understanding and ya, blabla. It's all good, your on your way to being an awesome player and i dont mean any offense. Keep it up.

[chipwichesrool]

hey thanks, i do appreciate that. Im not horrible along the lines of theory, its just that certain things are a little too technical. I do use certain terms i dont understand which i realize i shouldnt do, but its really all for the sake of naming something that i otherwise would have referred to as "just do this thing here," or something along those lines. Im still workin on the whole theory part though, but thanks!

[zajac1661]

ive played guitar for 12 years now. And i have learned that being good at theory, nessecary dont make you a good guitar player. This was understandeable for beginners. That would be the point of this video.

[a601lbcatfish]

I was playing along and I noticed that what you're playing is 1 step below me. You labeled the scale under a tuning of E but your playing in E. It almost confused me. Thought Id let you know. :)

[guitar2012]

not bad tut man! i suck ass at shredding hehe I need practicing ;)

[chipwichesrool]

hey no worries, what you can teach others and what you can incorporate into actual soloing are two different strings, I may have taught the lesson (and messed up quite a bit) but i still need just as much work as anyone watching it!

[guitar2012]

wow man, those are awesome words of advice! thanks a lot

[chipwichesrool]

:) thanks

[PROJECT7sy]

question. im very new to electric guitar. so do u tink that i shud start by learnin all the scales such that i can do it real fast before i move on to anything at all? im a big fan of shreddin and i really wanna be good in it. thx

[chipwichesrool]

For me, and dont take this too seriously cus different things work for different people, I started mainly with blues when i soloed. Eventually i played more metal and then built up to shred. I learned Pentatonic, Aeolian, Locrian, Ionian, Myxilodian, and then phrygian. I used all of the scales but i really just messed around more than anything else. The beauty of guitar is you learn best when youre not trying to learn. Screw around and see what happens. Good luck!

[brenofu]

thanks man 2 thumbs up all the way from oz

[PROJECT7sy]

sweeeee. (thats fckin awesome in my language)

[skater9303]

dude, your fking awsome and your lesson just took me to the next level in soloing, but I just kept wondering, for how long have you've been playing the guitar??

[Thormaster]

Awesome lesson. this helps so much more than the boring lessons of Paul Gilbert.

[chipwichesrool]

haha paul gilbert is a great teacher! and this lessons kinda boring but you can't imagine how much i appreciate that comment!

[RainbowShaker]

do u make 1 pick per string at 2:04 and after ?

'cause i am realy struggling with getting more speed into my scales. major pentatonics with alternate picking sometimes make me angry 'cause i can not play them as fast as i want to play them.

[chipwichesrool]

nope, those are all hammer-ons and pull-offs, good question though i probably shoulda mentioned that

[chipwichesrool]

*yup, mb

[himynameischrisAVA]

This is sulime mate....lush guitar and awesome lesson oh you sound alot like Shia la Bouef haha awesome

[chipwichesrool]

o god i hate that guy, thanks for the comment though! glad it helped!

[SingASongAndLOVEIt]

COMMENT! haha you told me to comment, so i am!

i think all of your lessons are fabulous!! and they help bunch!! last week or so probs before that i was sitting at my computer with my loverly guitar... attempting to play some of what you have here and i seem to be getting alot better !! thanks! :D

[chipwichesrool]

thanks heather, glad 2 help!

[Steamystreeb]

THANK YOU

looking for an actual lesson and finally found one

[chipwichesrool]

glad to help!

[GuitarForALiving]

What does everyone think the best guitar tuning is for shred/metal?

[chipwichesrool]

i personally stay down a step for more of that metal shred feel to it, but many who shred for the classical portion of it stay in standard or down a semi-tone

[GuitarForALiving]

Ok thanks very much for the advice...great video aswell!

[beech9999]

oh and nice 1 with the tab cant fault this for anything i still havent got to learning all of it but i will

[beech9999]

dont know any guitar theory at all diminishing scales and stuff i just sort of go from lesson to lesson trying to improve my playing i supppose i should learn them i know a lot of chords but have no idea what they are called

[chipwichesrool]

if you want to know chord theory, look up tabs for chord scales, so take like a B scale and take like the 7th note off the scale and add it to a B and you now have a B7. ( I THINK, that was explained to me quickly recently so i haven't actually had time to mess around with that yet). Theory helps but is unnecessary if you are just a jam kinda guy

i suggest everyone checks out my other lessons where i integrate shred skills all the time!

[deankeen]

hey thx for makin this video! this helps a lot. :D so how do u get that sound when you shred? some kind of distortion box?

[chipwichesrool]

i plug directly into a line 6 spider III 15w amp and keep delay all the way up for the most part, probably not the best idea but it all depends on what you like

[momot29]

thanx man, i really want to learn to shred... hope the scales you gave can help.

[chipwichesrool]

They help me, and even if they dont help along the lines of shred, its always good to know as many scales as you can! these scales give kind of a diminished sound to your soloing

[beech9999]

could of done with tab on bottom of screen because i keept having to rewind to memorize it but still good lesson ive been tring a very hard shred for 2 days mastering these should help these were a bit to easy for me but sound pretty cool keep it up

[chipwichesrool]

Thats a good idea, iv thought about it but i guess i might as well go through with it, Im adding in tabs now as annotations

thanks for the idea

[guitard00d1]

its like watching you slowly wake up haha

[chipwichesrool]

its like 8 in the morning when i made this and i had gotten to sleep around 4, so ya im kinda half asleep :-p
